THE PUREAIR™SYSTEM ATTACKS ALL THREE CLASSES
OF AIR CONTAMINANTS
Bioaerosols and Microorganisms—Removes over 90% of bioaerosols
down to .01 micron including viruses, dust mites, bacteria, mold spores,
and fungi.
Microscopic living organisms that grow and reproduce in warm,
humid places.
Particles—Removes over 95% of particles down to .3 micron including
pollen, dust, and pet dander.
Particles are any substances measuring less than 100 microns in diameter.
Odors/Chemical Vapors—Destroys volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
including cleaning supplies, solvents, cooking smells, and pet odors.
Air contaminants in the form of gases.
No home is immune to indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. All homes can
contain elevated concentrations of dust, dirt and chemicals. These impurities
may not be visible to the naked eye. Homes can also be breeding grounds
for mold and mildew.
CLEANS THE AIR IN YOUR HOME BETTER THAN ANY
OTHER SINGLE SYSTEM YOU CAN BUY
The PureAir™air purification system helps control everything from microscopic
dust mites and mold spores to infectious bacteria and viruses. And it’s the only
indoor air quality system that safely removes and destroys odors and chemical
vapors. Lennox gives you the innovative option for customizing the air in your
home and creating a pure, clean, comfortable environment.

Total home comfort and
peace of mind.
The Mayo Clinic has found
that air cleaners attached to
whole-house systems are
generally more effective than
freestanding air cleaners. An
optimal solution for central
HVAC systems, the PureAir™
Air Purification System installs
easily on the furnace or air
handler (return air side),1
where a filter would typically
be placed.

1One unit should be used in each air handler and model selection should be based on the size of the air handler. PureAir units should NOT be placed in the
supply side (after the heater) because the higher temperature may compromise system performance.
The effects of odors and chemical vapors on your
family’s comfort and health depend on the types and
concentrations of them within your home, as well as
your individual sensitivity. Generally, the more odors and
chemical vapors in the home, the more likely you are to
suffer an adverse reaction, such as dizziness or shortness
of breath. This is especially true if you have asthma or
some other respiratory ailment.

the home. Once inside the
home, these pollutants
circulate through the
ductwork, entering every
room and living space. Using
innovative air-purification
technology, the PureAir
System helps remove the
hundreds of odors/chemical
vapors that can contaminate

The PureAir
™
Air Purification System is the only single system that
effectively combats all three types of contaminants.
†Hg-LAMPS CONTAIN MERCURY. Manage in accordance with

Three main components
The revolutionary PureAir™Air Purification
System consists of a MERV 16 Precision Pleat™
filter, two 55-watt UVA lamps†and a metal
insert that is coated with a catalyst that’s
activated by ultraviolet (UVA) light.
Three powerful air purifiers
The PureAir System reduces concentrations
of pollutants through a process called
photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) that combines
three of nature’s most powerful air purifiers:
◆ Ultraviolet light (UVA)
◆ Titanium dioxide catalyst, a nontoxic
substance found in everyday
household products
◆ Hydroxyl radicals, formed through the
chemical reaction of the catalyst and
water vapor in the air, that destroy
organic compounds
Three fast, effective steps
The PCO process involves three steps:
1) The Precision Pleat MERV 16, 5" filter captures particles and bioaerosols as small as .01 micron, removing them from
the airstream—contaminants that standard filtration systems simply can’t stop.
2) As the odor- and chemical-vapor-filled airstream flows over the UVA lamps,
†the airstream is exposed to the
catalytic surface (titanium-dioxide-coated metal filter).
3) The light energy and water vapor in the air activate the titanium dioxide catalyst, which generates hydroxyl radicals.
These hydroxyl radicals attack the carbon components of the odors and chemical vapors, breaking them down into
carbon dioxide and water.

Cleans the air in
your home better
than any other single
system you can buy.
According to the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency, the air inside the
average home is up to
five times more polluted
than the air outside.**
Results from in-home air
tests across North America
support this government
finding. Nearly every
home (96%)*** had
at least one IAQ problem:
◆86% had high levels of
particles and bioaerosols
like dust, pollen and
viruses
◆71% were filled with
odors and potentially
harmful chemicals
and gases
